Make stacktraces consistent when backtrace_depth is 0
It is allowed to set the backtrace depth to 0, but when an exception is catched the stacktrace will still contain one element: 1> erlang:system_flag(backtrace_depth, 0). 8 2> catch error(badarg). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{shell,apply_fun,3, [{file,"shell.erl"},{line,908}]}]}} However, when an exception is raised using `erlang:raise/3`, there will be no elements in the stacktrace: 3> catch erlang:raise(error, badarg, [{fake,name,[arg],[]}]). {'EXIT',{badarg,[]}} Since the `error_handler` module uses `erlang:raise/3` to raise an exception when an undefined function is called, there will not be any stacktrace when calling an undefined function: 4> catch undef_module:undef_name(some_argument). {'EXIT',{undef,[]}} Fix this inconsistency by changing `erlang:raise/3` so that it always includes one element in the stacktrace: 3> catch erlang:raise(error, badarg, [{fake,name,[arg],[]}]). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{fake,name,[arg],[]}]}} 4> catch undef_module:undef_name(some_argument). {'EXIT',{undef,[{undef_module,undef_name,[some_argument],[]}]}}
